Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009.

Four Finished Quilt Tops?
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately.

Making | 2022

Mandolin Blocks – 7 out of 20 | Leaders/Enders Project
Welcome to a snowy Friday in New Hampshire! I was expecting to wake up to much more snow but plenty seems to be on the way today. Colton's school preemptively closed last night so we're not expecting to go anywhere and we have a big pot of chili ready to get us through. I hope... Continue Reading →

Snow Day!
Welcome to February! I know that February is hard for a lot of people, but it's my birth month and has always been one of my favorites. Of course -- Februarys in New Hampshire are different than the ones I grew up with in Texas. But this is the month when I really start to... Continue Reading →
First Friday of 2022 | Kittens, Project Bags, and Quilts – Oh My!
Happy First Friday of 2022! It's still dark as I type this, but I caught a glimpse of snow as I peeked through the porch light this morning. A snow day? I'll take it. If you can believe it, 4/5 of us still have some lingering symptoms of whatever that illness was from Christmas, myself... Continue Reading →
